Thank you Fred, you nailed it - the "old" checking acct (the one I want to delete) is Type=Bank. The "new" checking acct into which I want to roll the txn's from the old acct was Type=Asset. And thanks for all the other responses as well. Next ... to learn how to help revise/expand this page-

I think that the autocompletiin feature was refined somewhere in the 5.x series of releases such that in rrelease 5.6 for some cases there is now a pop-up offering a couple of options to choose from. I dont remember the details and i am sending this from my phone where it is too difficuly to fix t

One way to "disable" is to simply add a space after the description and it will turn off. Another way is to choose "Don't autocomplete" in the autocomplete list. On Mon, Jun 3, 2024 at 4:13 PM sunfish62--- via gnucash-user < gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: > It doesn't exist. > > ⁣David T. ​ > >

Hi y'all! I get so many things from online vendors (Amazon, Microsoft, etc, etc) and they are generally different and going to various different accounts and sometimes they have splits. I am finding the auto-complete function to be more troublesome than not and I'd like a way to turn it off.

For transfers, I put both dates in the description, and start it at the from date for ease of reconciling that account, then move it to the to date for ease in reconciling that account.  I have not tried that for checks, but might start them when cleared and then move them to when written.  Eve

I'm curious what your account tree looks like. I just tried to delete an account, and it only shows a couple of my other asset accounts. I created a 'test' account, and even that didn't show up... interesting. Never used that before, not sure what's expected of it. ~mark petryk ~w:http://ww
